Jean-Paul & Benoît Droin Montmains Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay 2017
The 2017 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru has a slightly richer bouquet than the Vaillons: white peach, a touch of custard and dandelion, mineral notes interwoven. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, quite stupendous tension and harmony with a shimmering, citrus finish that is pure joy. Is this the best Montmains of the vintage?

Hits all the right buttons. Racy mouth watering acid, with lemon peel, seashell and biscuit notes. Hard to imagine a better example of 1er Cru at this price.

The 2017 Chablis Montmains 1er Cru is clean, racy and super precise. Chalk, white flowers, mint and white pepper all confer brightness to this energetic, brisk taut Chablis. In the glass, the Montmains is so attractive and translucent. Orchard fruit and sweet floral notes linger on the close. Readers who want to see the elegance of 2017 will find plenty of that here.

Very Droin in style, crisp and tight, fresh and mineral, with just enough density to make it a very good 1st growth, drinks like a charm. Très beau premier cru de Droin, frais et mineral, serré et vif, avec juste assez de densité et texture pour en faire une bouteille qui se siffle en un rien de temps. 90-91
